Editor's note
Gladiator (2000) transports viewers to the heart of the Roman Empire, with Russell Crowe's Maximus seeking vengeance in Ridley Scott's epic. Zimmer, alongside Lisa Gerrard, crafts a powerful score that captures the film's blend of brutal combat and poignant humanity. The music is both grand and intimate, echoing the gladiatorial battles and the personal struggles of its characters, grounding the historical spectacle in emotional truth.
